183 Suspect the murderer at the fire scene
Liu Yi'an also heard the distrust in Shen Ruchu's words, smiled and said, "I said brother and sister, don't underestimate your brother and me, I am notoriously responsible, I must have handled the case first!" However, I really admire Wen Xu's kid, finding such a daughter-in-law as you, you have a vision! ”
He gave a thumbs up as he spoke.
Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "Lord Headcatcher, is this praising me?" Here, please, I'll take you to the scene to see. We also found something from the scene, which may be useful in solving the case. ”
Liu Yi'an smiled: "Of course I'm praising you!" If such a big event happened, if it was put on the body of an ordinary woman, it would have been called for heaven and earth a long time ago, how could there be a younger brother and sister so calm and calm. The heroine of the female middle school is very remarkable. ”
Shen Ruchu was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "Lord Headcatcher praised it falsely." This is my bedroom, but fortunately, the fire was put out in time and not too much of the house was burned. ”
Liu Yi'an frowned and glanced at the two houses that had collapsed, and said, "What property is damaged?" ”
Shen Ruchu smiled bitterly: "The things that can be burned are all broken, clothes, silk, bead curtains, and some valuables are still there, I put them in the agarwood box, which is more resistant to burning." "Most of the ancient buildings were made of wood, which was the easiest to burn, and the window lattices were made of wood; Shen Ruchu's bedroom is quite particular, so the window lattice is not made of paper paste, but bound with xiaxia yarn, which is transparent and bright, and it is not easy to poke it - but this xiaxia yarn is also a flammable item.
Liu Yi'an inspected the half of the collapsed house, and Shen Ruchu asked Lao Song to hand over the few things he had found earlier to Liu Yi'an, and said, "Lord Head Catcher, this is what we found at the arson scene, you can see it." It was a torch with oil stains on it, which showed that someone had deliberately set it on fire in order to put me to death. ”
Liu Yi'an looked at those things. He received some objects from his subordinates one after another, and he also inspected the scene for a long time, nodded solemnly, and said: "The person who came has a clear goal and an obvious purpose, not a good stubble." Make trouble on Lao Tzu's turf! Hum! ”
He jumped on the wall, carefully inspected the traces on the green tiles, squatted down and touched a few green tiles gently, and sneered: "This person came over the roof, and he should be a practitioner." It will be light, and the footsteps on the beams of the house are very light. With incense, the technique of three indiscriminate. ”
Liu Yi'an jumped down from the beam of the house, and his skills were very agile, and Shen Ruchu believed that this head catcher was not a waste of fame, nor was he a moth in the official mansion, but had two real brushes.
He said to his subordinates: "Move smart! Gather all the evidence you can! Not a single one is allowed to fall! Also, you, draw a topographical map of this burning yard! A few of you will come with us to the Yamen to make a confession. Tell me when you found it on fire, what the fire was like when you found it, and when you put it out. ”
Shen Ruchu said: "Lord Head Catcher, drink a cup of tea first." Rest, I'm sorry to call you so early on such a hot day. ”
Liu Yi'an tilted his head. looked at Shen Ruchu scrutinically, and said, "You tell me honestly, do you already know who set the fire to Lu Dao?" Last time you were kidnapped. Fortunately, Wen Xu and I arrived in time! Have you offended anyone? ”
Shen Ruchu made a gesture of invitation and said, "This matter is a long story, let's sit in the room and talk about it." Then she told Ma Wenjun that she wanted to accept herself as a concubine, how she refused, and how she aroused Cui Mingyue's jealousy.
"You're saying that the kidnapping was made by this young lady Ma?" Liu Yi'an scratched the back of his head and asked with some difficulty: "If this is really the case, it will be difficult!" Who dares to go to Marshal Ma's Mansion to arrest people! ”
Shen Ruchu had already expected such a result, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the head catcher, this case can be investigated if it can be investigated, and it is not reluctant if it can't be investigated." "With the power of the Ma family in Anyang City, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head? It's not that you turn a blind eye, and it's even possible that something happens here to perform official duties on the surface, and to do official business, and that side secretly goes to ventilate and report the news. In the face of power, how much is justice worth, and how much is friendship worth! How could Liu Yi'an offend the Ma family because of Wen Xu? ——How could Shen Ruchu not understand this truth?
Liu Yi'an said unhappily: "I don't think you seem to have much trust in this head catcher!" From the moment I entered the door, you seem to have been perfunctory, do you think I came here just to go through the motions, or do you not believe that I am willing to act impartially to find the young lady of the Ma family? ”
Shen Ruchu was seen through by him, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Lord Headcatcher is really sharp, and he is a little embarrassed to say it as before." If there is any negligence and rudeness at the beginning, please forgive me. She blessed her body as she spoke, and said: "My lord, you are only half right, and the other half is because Ruchu is unwilling to affect the adult's career, the Ma family's power in Anyang City is well known, since the adult is my father's friend, Ruchu can't implicate the adult because of this matter." ”
Liu Yi'an smiled: "Brother and sister, you are too polite, if you don't dislike it, call me big brother, don't call me an adult!" Let you, a five-grade general's wife, call me an adult, I deserve it! What kind of adult am I! I heard that Wen Xu has made military merits again, congratulations first! He looked around, the courtyard decorations, and said with a smile: "Your house needs to be expanded again!" It is necessary to have the grandeur of the General's Palace. ”
Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, our family background is very weak, my father and I are from humble backgrounds, we have nothing to rely on, and it is already difficult to maintain the status quo at present, and we really don't have the financial resources to pay attention to those pomp and circumstance." ”
Liu Yi'an nodded and said with a smile: "You are very truthful. Don't worry, take your time, I'm optimistic about Wen Xu, this guy is smart and capable, and he is an amazing man! You chose him in the first place, which shows that you also have vision. ”
As he was talking, a catcher came over and said, "Liu Zhutou, the pattern of the scene has been drawn, please catch the head!" ”
Liu Yi'an took it and looked at it, nodded, and said, "After arriving at the Yamen, go and check if there are any suspicious people recently, and those who usually steal chickens and dogs will also go to check." ”
The catcher quickly hugged his fist and responded: "Yes, catch the head!" ”
Then two more arresters came over to ask for instructions, and packed all the evidence materials collected, Liu Yi'an looked at the materials and said, "Okay!" Let's go back and investigate! I don't believe I can't catch that king bastard! ”
Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "Brother Liu, let's rest for a while before leaving." ”
Liu Yi'an waved his hand and said, "No need, the matter is very tricky, I want to go back to the government as soon as possible to investigate and give you an answer as soon as possible." You also follow me to the government office, and we will make a confession. ”
Shen Ruchu blessed himself and thanked him: "Okay, Songyue go and clean up." Thank you, Brother Liu, for bothering you. ”
went to the mansion, Shen Ruchu and everyone in the mansion made a confession, and then returned to the Wen family, just when he saw Ruyi riding a horse and approaching him, he saw Shen Ruchu's carriage and hurriedly reined in the horse.
"Madame!" Ruyi jumped off the horse, his eyes full of anxiety.
Shen Ruchu poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Ruyi, what's wrong?" Is there anything going on at the hospital? ”
Ruyi hurriedly said: "Madam, something happened to the medical hall, but there is no danger!" What's wrong at home? Jin Yue told me that someone set fire to your home, and you also fell for the incense! When I heard this, I rushed back, but someone in the hospital made a disturbance and dragged me down. Madame, are you alright? Does it matter? ”
Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "I'm fine." Let's go home first, and we'll talk slowly when we get home. ”
Song Yue nervously held Shen Ruchu's arm and said nervously: "Madam, this is someone who wants to harm us, what should we do?" What the hell should I do? ”
Shen Ruchu frowned and said, "Don't mess with yourself. ”
Entering the house, Ruyi briefly stated what happened in the hospital last night, it turned out that someone also went to the hospital to set fire, but Ruyi found out and stopped it in time, not only dodged the attack of the smoke, but also fought with the arson for half the night, and was supposed to catch the arsonist, but at dawn came another helper, which allowed them to escape.
When Jin Yue went to inform Ruyi of the things at home, Ruyi had just finished fighting with the murderer, and he was going to clean up and go home to check, but when he heard Jin Yue say this, he was even more anxious, but something happened to the hospital again - a few people who worked before came to make trouble, saying that the salary was less.
"How can you be paid less? Didn't I double their wages? Shen Ruchu frowned, "It's really a coincidence." ”
Ruyi said: "I think it's too strange, it shouldn't be a problem with wages, I paid their wages in time according to my wife's instructions, and they were more than the agreed wages, but they suddenly came to make trouble." I think it's weird! Before the murderers left, they came, and they came in pairs, and there must be a reason. ”
Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "There must be someone secretly trying to disadvantage us in this matter, and the target is me." They are in the dark, we are in the light, and this is the most terrible place. Put the fire in your house and kill me, and it's a hundred; Bringing the fire to the infirmary is obviously an attempt to distract us, and even if it doesn't kill me all at once and the infirmary is destroyed, I won't be better. This man is so vicious! ”
Ruyi said: "Madam, you must be careful! From now on, let the two generals, Jin Yue and Gu Sanniang, follow you day and night. This person has obviously planned it a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that Jin Gu and the others were also in the courtyard last night, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”
Songyue hurriedly said, "Yes, madam! You have to be careful! ”
Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "Guess what kind of person is going to be bad for me?" Is there a way to prevent it? ”
Ruyi glanced at Songyue and said, "I can't guess who it is for the time being." ”
Shen Ruchu glanced at Song Yue, and Song Yue said, "The slave maid thinks it's from the Ma family!" It's Cui Mingyue! (To be continued......)
